Wonderful, keep us updated.

I recommend Autobody 2010 in Garfield. They do great work.

Tested open exposure flooding in the rain today.

I did not see any puddling of water anywhere in the passenger cabin.

Here on Long Island, I was actually considering converting the 190E into an Ark.

I'm still looking for that procedure in the Chassis and Body Service Manual.

In addition to the interior, making sure that the sunroof drains are clear and that the water collection rubber pieces at the hood and windshield junction are probably more important.

Water penetration through the door seals are pretty easy to catch, but the most important seal is at the each door's windows. If water gets into the door, the plastic sheeting offers some protection, but it can accumulate in the bottom of the door and rust out the bottoms.

Is not Autobody 2010 belongs to your family?

This is today's grab bag of parts.

The hood pad will have to await installation. The hood was danced upon and both center support struts were bent. One is knocked off at one end. I am contemplating a new hood.

All cooling system rubber is there along with some new clamps. The dealer did not give me all clamps so I am going to yell at him.

Yummy 16V parts! I told my mechanic about your car today... He was jealous.

This is a waste box with some of the old parts I removed today.
